When Doug's father, an Air Force Pilot, is shot down by MiGs belonging to a radical Middle Eastern state, no one seems able to get him out. Doug finds Chappy, an Air Force Colonel who is intrigued by the idea of sending in two fighters piloted by himself and Doug to rescue Doug's father after bombing the MiG base.
Editor's Verdict
"Iron Eagle is a straightforward 1980s military action/thriller focused on aerial combat, revenge, and rescue. There are no discernible references to Christmas in the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution."
